Sadly, it didn't even have to come to that.

I'll say it again: I never watched Mark Jackson until that conference finals, and I couldn't help but notice that he was the worst player I had ever seen. Seriously - the guy was terrible. I don't even know what the move was that he kept doing, but he'd get the ball well outside of the paint, try to somehow back himself up closer to the basket, and either a second defender would swat the ball away from him, or he'd get stoned and turn around an brick something that appeared to be a shot of some sort. He was killing them. Then I find out he's supposed to be come kind of star, and couldn't believe it. He sucked.

And of course, if Ewing hadn't gotten injured, N.Y. wouldn't have changed up their offense to be based on fast breaks, which ended the hopes of a team featuring the Smits/Jackson combo.
